HUGE News!
We're retiring! But our story doesn't end here...
It’s official! After 43 years in yarn, we’re excited to announce that we’re retiring! We can’t thank you enough for all of your support over the years. From shopping and creating with us, to learning how to crochet and yarn-bombing our local area — the crafty community we have built both online and in our shop means so much to us, and we will miss you all as we move on to our next chapter.
Our last day will be this Saturday, February 14th 2026. If you have time to pop in and say goodbye, we’d love to see you before we go!
The best part? Our small business story doesn’t end here…
That’s right! As we head into retirement, we’re happy to let you know that this isn’t the end of Babes in the Wool. We have an exciting announcement coming later in 2026, so make sure you don’t miss our news by signing up below.
As a thank you to all of our local customers in Hull, and our In the Wool subscribers, exciting perks are on the way!
Thank you again for all of your support. Being your local yarn shop has been the most fulfilling experience for us, and we will really cherish the many memories we have made.







Happy for you both, but sad to see the shop go too. Looking forward to seeing what you do next! Kx
I don't live in Hull (daughter and family do), but i love to pop in and drink in the wonderful yarns and equipment you stock.
Came in on the 17th January, bought the yarn and buttons for my granddaughters cardigan (she chose the colours), and then purchased Rowan yarn for a sweater for myself!
Wonderful service. Enjoy your retirement, well deserved. Xx
